Oh Manning!

What a game! What a season! I called it, and it was amazing that it came true. The two teams who deserved to be in the superbowl the most actually ended up facing each other. What a perfect culmination to a season where they topped all the other teams in wins and in the case of the New Orleans Saints, even in points! The Colts and the Saints match up will be legendary in superbowl history, no doubt. It was a perfectly played game by both teams, yet, of course, everyone knows that the Saints won, bless their hearts. I must admit, I was certainly rooting for them. How can there be a professional NFL team in existence that has NEVER gone to OR won a superbowl game?? Just seems hard to fathom. It's wonderful to see Drew Brees finally getting the recognition as a quarterback that he is deserved; maybe he might even garner the salary he deserves too now (talk is, he's the 17th highest paid quarterback in the league). I'm sure he gets SO tired of all the Peyton Manning mania. And speaking of which, Peyton reportedly didn't even go over and congratulate Brees! No handshake from Pey Pey...booooo what a disgrace! He should at least be happy for Brees, he knows how it feels to finally win a superbowl title after years of hard work. Goodness, he just won his first a couple of years ago. And I'll just go on out and say it...Pey Pey blew the game, LOL. Some folks are trying to lay the blame on Hank Baskett for letting the ball bounce off of him during the Saints on side kick...but nah. At that point, the Colts were still winning and they even scored again very soon after the third quarter began. It was that interception Peyton threw in the fourth quarter. Sorry!! Anyway, what a great game, I'm still reeling about it. Congratz to the Saints on a season and job well done! :D

I was RIGHT!

I called it...yep, I called way back when in the beginning of the NFL season that the two (then) undefeated teams would and SHOULD meet each other in the Superbowl. And guess what happened? The Saints and the Colts are those two teams!!! WOOOOO! Well, I'm not surprised, they truly were the best two teams this year. It's also interesting that it came down to the best three teams being in the running: Saints, Vikings, and Colts. Not sure how the New York Jets slithered their way into playing for the Superbowl shot....*pregnant pause to ponder*....yeah, just glad that Peyton Manning and the Colts put that young whipper snapper Mark Sanchez in his place. I mean, don't get me wrong. he had a GREAT season and as a fellow Trojan I am proud of him, but we really don't need no rookie quarterbacks going to the Superbowl! Who would be able to tell him anything after that if he did? Dude is already from Southern Cal, big head city, he doesn't need to add an historical accomplishment to his resume! But anyway, I am happy for both Superbowl bound teams, and I think it's the perfect match-up. I just hope that the Saints shake off their "first time going to the Superbowl" high well before the game on February 7. Sometimes, performing well on one special occasion can be a deterrent for continuing the trend. not sure who I am rooting for yet, but I just hope it's a good game! :D
